Edible Landscapes: The Art of Foraging

Foraging has been a part of Native Californian peoples’ health, well-being and survival for thousands of years. Many plants found on Santa Margarita Ranch carry a strong historical significance, and we embrace foraging as a cultural practice that remains relevant in this modern age. Join us as we take you on a journey through time and nature to discover a variety of plants that can be used for nutrition, beverages and other healthful purposes. Along the way, we will educate you on what plants to avoid, and we will teach you mindful enjoyment of the environment no matter where you spend your every day.
